Abstract
The aim of the current research is to design alcohol oxidase-based amperometric biosensors (ABSs) using hybrid metallic nanoparticles as artificial peroxidases (PO) or PO-like nanozymes (NZs). A lot of metallic PO-like NZs were synthesized and tested with respect totheir ability to substitute natural PO in solution and on amperometric electrode. The most effective PO mimetics were coupled with alcohol oxidase (AOX) on graphite electrodes (GEs) and characterized. Two types of modified GEs, namely, the AOX/nAuCePt/GE and the AOX/nFePtAu/GE show the highest sensitivities to ethanol (2600 A⋅M-1⋅m-2 and 1250 A⋅M-1⋅m-2, respectively), low limits of detection (1.5µM and 2.2µM), broad linear ranges (5 - 100µM and 12 - 120µM), as well as satisfactory storage stabilities. The most sensitive bioelectrode AOX/nAuCePt/GE was used as ABS for ethanol determination in real samples. The practical feasibility of the constructed ABS was demonstrated by determination ofethanol in beverages, human blood and saliva.
